The Flavor Guy: Best Uses for Flavor Extracts

The Flavor Guy, goes through a quick rundown of how extracts are made, their best uses and applications, and the percentages by volume that you should be using for your flavoring needs.

FAQs

A flavor extract is a concentrated liquid that captures the essence of natural ingredients like vanilla beans, almonds, or citrus fruits. Made by extracting flavors through organic alcohol or glycerin-based solutions, these potent extracts deliver authentic taste to your recipes with just a few drops. Nature’s Flavors natural and organic flavor extracts elevate your creations without any artificial ingredients or synthetic additives.

While often used interchangeably, these products have distinct characteristics:

Proper storage preserves your natural extracts' potency and extends their lifespan:

Store in a cool, dark place away from heat sources and direct sunlight. A pantry or cupboard away from your stove is ideal since heat and light degrade delicate flavors over time.

Keep bottles tightly sealed between uses to prevent alcohol evaporation and maintain concentration.

Avoid temperature fluctuations, so DO NOT refrigerate extracts; condensation can introduce moisture and dilute the product.

Use clean utensils when measuring to prevent contamination.

Maintain original packaging when possible, as dark glass bottles protect against light exposure better than clear containers.

Our made-to-order natural and organic extracts are best used within three years from purchase for optimal flavor potency, though the alcohol acts as a natural preservative that prevents true spoilage.
